Hi guys here the next chapter hopefully you like it...

Disclaimer: I don't own naruto

Pairing: Sasunaru

Naruto decided to skip work the next day, and went straight to Sasuke's apartment after school. the doorman remember him and let him in directly. He passed through the hotel-like lobby and went up to the fifth floor.

Sasuke appeared, smiling brightly. "There you are!" he exclaimed.

He led Naruto to the sitting room and offered his visitor a drink. Naruto asked for a beer, afraid that if he asked for wine he would be served something outrageously expensive again. Sasuke had been drinking brandy before Naruto arrived.

"Neji called a little while ago an said he'll be here shortly," the raven said. "Once he gets here, we'll all go to a Chinese restaurant,"

Naruto remember Neji's admonition to not get involved with Sasuke and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Should I really go along when a friend of yours is coming to see you?" he wanted to know.

"Of course," Sasuke replied. "He's an old friend. There's no need to worry about formalities with him."

Naruto had no choice but to acquiesce.

"Oh, do you have the ring?" Sasuke asked taking Naruto's hand.

"I keep it in my pocket," Naruto hastily pulled out the chain with the ring on it. "I'd like to give it back to you, actually. I'm afraid I might to lose it."

"Is it too big for you?" Sasuke inquired. "I'll get it adjusted."

He seemed not to have heard Naruto at all.

"Do I have to wear it?" Naruto asked.

"Of course. Whenever you're in public." Sasuke laughed. "It's the symbol of a fiancee of the Uchiha family."

Naruto felt dizzy. But he wasn't about to give up now. Sasuke didn't seem to be as horrible as he'd throught, but the man was definitely strange.

Neji arrived after this exchange.

For a moment, he looked surprised to see Naruto, but he quickly recovered his ironic smile. "So you got involved with him after all," he said. "You must really like him, Naru."

"Naruto's going to be playing Eliza from 'My Fair Lady,' and I'll be Professor Higgins," Sasuke declared. "I suppose that makes you Colonel Pickering."

He seemed to be truely enjoying himself.

Audrey Hepburn, the pixie of the siver screen, starred in the movie "My Fair Lady" and it became one of her most famous films. She played a flower seller in Covent Garden who became a refined lady under the guidance of Professor Higgins, a linguist.

"Well, if we're re-enacting the movie, how about a little wager, Professor?" Neji said, getting carried away, too. "Eliza had six months to become a lady, but how long do you have, Naru?"

Sasuke shrugged. "Six months is walk in the park. We three months to break up the old man's scheme before the engagement party."

"You're telling me that Naru will be standing by your side at the engagement party at Hyde Park hotel in Knightsbride in three months?" Neji asked incredulously.

"What exactly do I have to do?" Naruto butted in.

"All you have to do is be my fiancee," Sasuke said. "That's not hard. Oh yes. As we discussed before, you'll be paid 300 pounds a day. I'll start today.'ll also pay a clothing allowance to get yourself set up, so don't worry about that."

"Wait just a minute!" Naruto cried out. "Do you know how many days there are between now and May? And I won't be able to pay you back if it doesn't work out."

"Naruto is right," Neji said. "Making up a contract would be better for both of you."

His words reassured Naruto. There were some things that Sasuke couldn't really understand, but Neji was a journalist and had common sense.

"All right," Sasuke conceded. "We can arrange it tomorrow. Even through I'd happy to take Naruto to Dorsett today if it meant I could stop the old man."

"Don't be so hasty." Neji said. I think Naru is in shock."

"I'm going to be relying on your help, Neji," Sasuke said seriously. Then the mishieveous glint returned to his eys. "Or should I say, Colonel Pickering?"

His friend shrugged. "anway, the thing to do now is have dinner. We can work out the plan later."

No one contradicted this.

Even in England, where the food is reputed to be so bad, relatively good Chinese food can be gotten at expensive restaurant places Naruto could only dream about in his penniless state. the three ate a good deal before leaving the restaurant.

The next morning, Naruto was woken up by a call from Sasuke. The contract haad been drawn up, and the man wanted Naruto to come as soon as he could. The raven sounded unsually excited.

The clock said it was only 8:00 am. Naruto would have liked to sleep in since there was no school, but once he was up, he could neveer go back to sleep. He gave up and got out of bed to get dressed. then he took the subway to Sasuke's apartment. The man appeared when he pressed the bell outside the door on the fifth floor.

"Come in, Naruto. " Sasuke put a hand on Naruto's shoulder and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

It was a common gesture in England, not just between lovers. But Naruto was not at all used to it. But, as if demanding a kiss in return, Sasuke presented his own cheek to Naruto, and he was forced to comply.

Entering the sitting room, he saw Neji lying on the sofa. The man was wearing the same clothes as last night he must have stayed the night.

"Neji, Naruto's here," Sasuke said, rousing him.

"Here so soon?" Neji strected as he sat up. "I'd like cup of coffee. Wheer's the maid?"

"It's her day off," Sasuke explained. "I supposing I'll have to make it myself." He disppeared into the kitchen.

"Good morning," Naruto greeted Neji, supposing there was no need to kiss and embrace him.

"He must have forced you to come here this early," the man remarked.

Naruto nodded.

"The upper-class is used to issuing orders." the man added. "They don't think about the trouble involved for everyone else."

"It certainly seems that way," Naruto argeed.

"If you want out, now's the time to say so," A meaningful smile crossed Neji's face.

"You tried to stop me before, too," Naruto said. "Why?"

The man shrugged. "Because you're going to become a plaything for the rich."

" But I need money," Naruti said. "This is all very well-timed for me."

Then there's nothing I can do," Neji remarked.

"Nothing you can do about what?" Sasuke asked as he reppeared.

"I was asking Naru if he was ready for this." Neji stood up and brought over a bundle of papers from a table. "Thie is your contract."

"It's pretty thick," Naruto commented.

He had been the one to sk for clarification, but now that the job was becoming real, he was getting a little intimidated.

"It's just for reassureance. We didn't get an actual lawyer to make it," Neji said, spreading open the document.

Naruto picked up part of it and looked it over, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Neji saw Naruto's distress and explained, " The first part is the preface. It's chock-full of legal terms, but don't be too scared. The rest of it describes the job duties and pay. The most important part is the job duties. First of all the duties is that you'll act as Sasuke's fiancee. Next is that you'll appear at the engagement party in May to be recognized by everyone. And the final objective is to have a marriage within the year."

"A marriage?!" Naruto shouted in surprise.

"Are you a practicing Christian, Naruto?" Sasuke asked with concern.

"No, I'm Buddhist," Naruto replied.

Actually, he was an atheist, but foreigners didn't really understand that so, he had prepared this response.

"Then that's not a provlem," Sasuke said with relief.

Neji grinned. "Yeah. That was the biggest obstacle, but you being Buddhist knocks it out of our way."

"What do you mean there's no problem?" Naruto still seemed to have quite a few problems. The engagement party wasn't so bad, but now they wanted a marriage.

"You're not going to tell us that you can't lie in church, even through you're not a Chistian?" Neji asked.

Naruto could only shake his head.

Neji continued. "You're going to go on a honeymoon after the wedding. You've got your school schedule to consider, too. We'll try to plan around your vacations as much as possible."

It seemed they'd respected Naruto's desire to keep attending school. But he still wasn't completely ressured.

"In the middle of the honeymoon," Neji went on "you'll have a fight and get a divorce. And that will be the end of your role. you two will sever all ties. Even if you see each other in the street, you'll act like strangers. This is so that Sasuke's marriage isn't discovered to be a sham after the plan's been executed."

"In short, I leave him at the airport instead the alter."

Naruto agreed. He liked that there would be no future obligations. No matter what happened, he would be able to finish school in three years and go back to Japan. He didn't see any problems.

"Now, while the plan is in effect, Lord Uchiha has one request of you," Neji added.

"What's that?" Naruto asked.

"He wants you to stay in the apartment with him," was the reply.

"What?" he cried out.

"It would be a lot of trouble to call you all the way here every time he needed you for something." Neji pointed out.

"But..." Naruto couldn't think of how to repond. He couldn't picture himself living with Sasuke. They had been born and had lived in entirely different places. And the raven was a nobleman. Thier worlds were just too different.

"If you can't answer right away, we can set that aside for the moment and discuss your pay." Neji turned a page over. "Three hundred pounds per day, paid every day from the signing of the contract. All your expenses will be paid by Lord Uchiha until the end of the contract. And a 10,000 pound bonus upon successful completion of the plan."

There were three months until the engagement party. That worked out to quite a large amout by the end. Naruto begun to fear the huge amout of money he would have when it was all over. He almost felt like he was assisting in acrime. He probably wouldn't just get away scott-free if they were caught.

"And if something goes wrong?" he asked.

Neji had the answer to that too. "In cases of illness or other unavoidable circumstances earned so far will be paid to you. But if you deliberately sabotage the plan, you will pay back a percentage of the money to Lord Uchiha."

"Deliberately sabotage it?" Naruto echoed confused.

Neji nodded. "Yes, for example, selling information about the plan to the media is a violation of the contract. If you do it right, you could make more than Lord Uchiha is paying you."

"Aren't you part of the media, Neji?" Naruto asked.

Neji nodded again. "Yes, but if I leak word of this, I take on the responsibility of paying you. Even if my luck ever turned around, I wouldn't have that kind of money, so don't worry about me. I just ask that you give me the best seat at the engagement party and wedding. That's everything in the contract, through. Any questions?"

"What if the plan fails because I don't act well enouhh to convince people?" Naruto wanted to know.

"I'd rather not think about it," Neji answered. "But in that case, the contract is finished. But you won't receive any compensation, either. So do your best work so that that doesn't happen. Of course, we'll do all we can to help. Anything else?"

Naruto shook his head.

Neji faced his friend. "And how about you, Sasuke?"

"Aside from the question of where Naruto will live, nothing," the raven replied.

"Surely you don't intend to force Naruto to stay here against his will?" Neji crossed out the sentence concerning living arrangements in the documents.

"Let's jist remove this clause. We can tjink about it again if we discover any problems once we've started."

Saske seemed displeased, but eventually agreed.

"Then sign," Neji said.

Naruto nodded. He wouldn't back out now, having come so far.

"The contract's been finalized and agreed upon bu all parties." Neji said once all three had signed. "I'm glad that went well. It have been a lot worse with a woman. We probably would have had to write clauses protecting her vitue."

"Neji, please." Sauke made a face of distaste.

"sorry," Neji said. "I got carried away with my little jokes. But the signing of contract calls for a little celebration, don't you think?"

"You're after that wine I got last week, aren't you?" Saske laughed, his good mood recovered.

"I sure am," Neji agreed. "I hear it's a pretty good vintage."

"Well, help yourself to it," his friend offered. "I'm going to take Naruto shopping."

Naruto eyed Sasuke suspiciously. "Shopping for what?"

"Clothes and bags and shoes, outffiting you from head to toe," Sasuke asked.

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"Well, if you have your own dresses, I suppose I don't need to," Saske said, his voice wry.

"But, right now?" Naruto protested.

"Yes," Sasuke answered firmly.

"That's part of earning your 300 pounds a day. Get to it." Neji waved to Naruto.

"Neji!"

But the cry seemingly fell on deaf ears as Neji disappeared into the kitchen.
